All awards shall be made strictly on merit, determined by the aggregate marks (including optional subjects) obtained by the candidates in the specified examination held at the end of the preceding academic year only.
If an examination is conducted by more than one recognised examining body, the percentage of marks shall be calculated to three decimal places, and a combined merit list shall be prepared by the awarding authority. In case multiple students secure equal marks/percentage of marks (calculated to three decimal places), the candidate junior in age shall be given priority.
The scholarship shall be awarded on the recommendations of the following authorities, who will follow the procedure given in the succeeding paragraphs and shall forward the completed documents in respect of the eligible candidates to the awarding authority before the prescribed date, each year:
- Registrar, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, for one Ph.D. scholarship to be awarded in this institution.
- The concerned Examination Body (e.g., Punjab and Kurukshetra University) from where a candidate passes their specified examination.
- Students must send their completed application forms, duly attested, to the Examination Bodies under registered cover before the notified date. Examination Bodies will issue Entitlement Cards to prospective candidates simultaneously with the announcement of the results. This can be done by sending the required number of cards to the Heads of the Institutions where the candidates appeared in the examination. These cards should be addressed to the scholars' residential addresses, as deemed appropriate.
- The top 75% of candidates from the total number of Open Merit Scholarships/Rural Areas Scholarships, as fixed under the Scheme, will receive these cards. Additionally, another 40% of candidates will receive cards in order of merit, but with a heading stating "Candidates to be kept on the Waiting List."
- Upon receiving the application forms, the Examination Body will prepare a merit list with full details of the candidates and submit it to the Awarding Authority, HEC Haryana.
If the concerned Examination Bodies do not receive the required documents within 15 days of the close of admissions in the State institutions, they will verify the status of the candidates. They will send a registered reminder to the candidates' residential addresses, asking them to state the institution and course they have joined within 20 days of the letter's issuance. The candidates will also be required to submit their applications and documents to the university. If no response is received from the candidates within the stipulated period, their case will be closed, and the non-award will be reported to the relevant authority.
If a scholar migrates to another college where the scholarship is tenable and they continue their studies in the awarded course, they must immediately notify the Awarding Authority upon leaving the former institution. The scholar should inform their new Head of Institution about the scholarship award, and the Head of Institution, in consultation with the former institution, should immediately initiate the transfer/renewal process with the Awarding Authority, quoting the number and date of the previous sanction order.
In case any of the contingencies outlined in the scheme or otherwise communicated occur, the Head of the Institution concerned must stop the payment to the scholar and report the incident to the Awarding Authority.

Cancellation of Scholarship:-
- The scholarship may be cancelled under the following circumstances:
- If the student or their guardian provides false, incomplete, misleading, or unclear information on the declaration or application form, and upon verification, the student is found ineligible.

- If the student accepts any other stipend, scholarship, or financial assistance that cannot be combined with this scholarship, even retroactively.
- If the student engages in any political party affiliation, political protests, unlawful or subversive activities against the state or institutions, disciplinary issues, strikes, or inciting others to do so.
- Once cancelled, the scholarship cannot be reinstated for the same student. The awarding authority reserves the right to recover the entire amount paid to the student, or to write off a portion of it if recovery proves difficult or unnecessary.
- If it is subsequently discovered that a scholarship recipient was ineligible, the scholarship will be revoked, and any funds already disbursed will be recovered through appropriate means as determined by the competent authority.

Failure to do so will result in forfeiture of the scholarship.
- If the affidavit given by the parent(s)/guardian(s) of the scholar is found to be incorrect within the meaning of Sections 182-183 of the Indian Penal Code.
- It is in the best interest of the scholar to ensure that as soon as the result of the annual examination is declared, the renewal application is filled out by the Head of the Institution and is personally dispatched by the scholar to the Administering Authority (i.e., the HEC Haryana) quoting the reference number of the letter under which the award was initially communicated, or their personal folder number, if allotted, must be provided.
